Strawberry Cream Bread + Strawberry Cream Cheese Spread

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Most of the recipes I'll be posting this week are very simple. While none of them come near gourmet standards, I promise those of you who try them will not be disappointed. As a way of thanking the hospital staff who have been caring for the Silver Fox, I decided to bake for them. So, midweek I began making quick and simple treats that could be easily transported. The transportation issue pretty much limited me to cookies and quick breads and this strawberry cream loaf is a really quick, quick bread that they loved. The original version of this recipe was developed in the Betty Crocker test kitchens. It requires no special equipment to make and if you have a bowl and a wooden spoon you can have this bread on your tea table in an hour. I like to serve this plain and honest loaf with a homemade strawberry cream cheese spread. The spread helps dress up the bread and the two paired together make for a wonderful tea time treat. This is a straight forward recipe and it is one that even young cooks can make without difficulty. I hope those of you who are not familiar with the bread will give it and the strawberry cream cheese spread a try. I really think you'll enjoy them both. Here are the recipes.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, simple is often the best. I've not baked with strawberries before so am bookmarking this in the hope I will remember it come strawberry season. The cream cheese sounds delicious.

Sorry to hear about the Silver Fox - hope he is well on the way to recovery now.

Mary, this sounds like a lovely cream bread. I didn't have the recipe and am happy that you posted it. I don't think you should ever apologize for a recipe being simple to prepare. Some of the best recipes I have made would not be called gourmet. As a matter of fact I think most of what I prepare is not complicated. I think we all appreciate a wonderful recipe like this one with the nice strawberry cream cheese to go with it. I'm sure that everyone at the hospital enjoyed it.
